Works

van RAALTE, Henri (1881–1929)

Two Trees and a Farm. A delightful little bit. A huge gum in the foreground, at its side on old worn-out warrior bare of leaf, in the distance the "little farm".

The gap thro' the trees. Eucalypts in foreground, through the gap a river, in the distance tree-covered hills. A quiet, restful picture.

Evening. A pool in foreground, trees on a sloping bank in middle distance, mountains in distance, setting sun and clouds in background. A beautiful etching, finely handled.

The swamp.

Red Gums. Giant trees in foreground with tremendous boles and limbs; through a gap in the centre the view fades away into valleys and hills. A majestic work; the power and strength of Mother Nature as here depicted, fill one with awe.

Ye Olde Narrogin Inn.

The old boat, Fremantle Bridge.

Vanity.

A corner of old Delft.

Study of a head. Bust, with a sweet, pensive, dreaming face, large eyes and a wealth of soft hair.

Ashton, Julian. (1851–1942) and Ashton, Julian. (1851–1942)

The ferry. River in foreground, old-fashioned punt against the further bank, on the same bank trees thick with foliage reflected in the river by mysterious shadows, through a gap in the trees high mountains appear in the distance, a cloudy sky.

Gloucester Street, The Rocks, Sydney. A finely-worked plate, shewing a bit of OLD SYDNEY long since demolished. Besides being good etchings, this plate and the two named below have an historic interest. These two points make them well worth securing.
